If you plan to sell your home one day, a bathroom renovation is a smart upgrade to invest in. Buyers in Edmonton prefer bright, modern, low-maintenance spaces, and a well-designed bathroom can set your property apart.
At Peak Improvements, our Edmonton-based team of in-house architects and designers can custom-fit your bathroom to suit you and the demands of the real estate market. We specialize in renovations that maximize both beauty and ROI. Here are 10 proven ways to increase the resale value of your bathroom renovation.
1. Keep the Design Timeless and Neutral
For resale, choose simple, elegant designs. Neutral tones like soft white, grey, or stone appeal to more buyers and make spaces feel open and clean. Picture the black-and-white, hexagon, subway, or some other type of tile. The right tiles for bathroom renovation are a great way to bring any bathroom into the modern era. A timeless look helps your bathroom stay fresh for years; something buyers and homeowners appreciate.
2. Update Fixtures and Hardware for a Modern Look
Small details can make a big impact. Updating taps, handles, and fixtures to brushed nickel, matte black or even gold creates a modern look without a full remodel. Peak’s team helps coordinate the finishes for a cohesive style.
3. Brighten Up the Space with Better Lighting
Good lighting is key, especially during Edmonton’s long, dark winters. Combine overhead LEDs with wall sconces or backlit mirrors to create practical, flattering layers of light. If possible, add a skylight or frosted window for more natural light. A well-lit bathroom is not only essential for safety and convenience, but it also creates a restful and relaxed atmosphere, improves functionality and increases your home’s overall value.
4. Refresh Flooring and Walls
Floors and walls show a bathroom’s age. Durable, water-resistant materials like porcelain tile or luxury vinyl offer style and longevity. Our Edmonton clients love light and stone-like floor tiles that stay bright and easy to clean. Additionally, consider in-floor heat to stay toasty in the colder months.
5. Add Smart Storage Solutions
Buyers notice seamless storage. Floating vanities, built-in shelves, and shower niches hide clutter and keep essentials handy. With the Peak Improvements team, you can design functional storage into layouts that maximize storage and overall space. Additional shelving and refreshing your layout can benefit your remodelling project, as they can make bathrooms feel larger and more organized.
6. Don’t Overlook Ventilation
In Edmonton, humidity control is essential. A quiet, energy-efficient fan prevents condensation, mould, and paint damage. It’s a simple update that protects your renovation and assures buyers that the space is well-maintained.
7. Invest in a Stylish, Functional Vanity
The vanity is your bathroom’s focal point. A new one with quartz or granite counters, quality cabinetry, and smart lighting elevates the room. Double sinks also add interesting appeal and value to family homes.
8. Upgrade the Shower or Tub Area
A frameless walk-in shower adds a sense of luxury and extra space, while a freestanding tub adds appeal in larger bathrooms. Peak Improvements helps homeowners select the right fit based on layout, plumbing, and budget.
9. Incorporate Energy-Efficient Fixtures
Modern buyers want efficiency and guaranteed sustainability. Consider low-flow toilets, water-efficient showerheads, and tankless heaters to minimize utility costs and boost appeal. Edmonton homeowners looking to do sustainable renovations can access rebates for certain eco-upgrades.
10. Finish Strong with Clean, Move-In Ready Details
A spotless finish makes a strong impression. Fresh caulking, new grout, and updated mirrors or hardware show attention to detail. Add greenery, or a minimalist shelf, to make the space inviting and move-in ready. Fortunately, Peak Improvements can personalize your bathroom from floor to ceiling.
